She is quite the character and has a winning personality! Everyone says, "she is SO beautiful" and she is, however, true beauty truly is from the inside out and she is ABSOLUTELY beautiful!!!
The only struggle at this point is WHAT WILL SHE EAT? She is ready for some new "taste and texture". We have tried several things yet still trying to find out what type of "eater" she will be. If she takes after me, she will be a "creature of habit" which means I eat the same thing just about everyday. If she is like her dad, she will have a sweet tooth!!!
This morning she refused her oatmeal but enjoyed Dannon plain vanilla yogurt and some cheerios (which are by far her favorite at this point). Jason is cooking in the kitchen to give her a taste test for later! Maybe I should stop eating my usual and see what he stirs up for me?
Speaking of food/recipes, we are going to a TET party this month with other CAS families. TET is the Vietnamese New Year. The party will include a POT luck lunch...so, we will be preparing a Vietnamese dish to take! I'll make sure to post the recipe when we make a decision. TET begins on Jan. 26th...let's get ready to CELEBRATE!!!
